Weird Sea by Sophie Burrows is a hilarious, fascinating, and totally unique collection of weird and wonderful tales! Warning—after reading this book, you'll never look at the sea the same way again.

What does the sea make you think of? Crashing waves, crumbling sandcastles... maybe a squawking seagull or two? Well, how about...

Ghost ships! Mega sharks! The Bermuda Triangle! Zombie starfish! Psychic sea serpents! And don't even get us started on something called the Hot Tub of Despair...

You see, the sea is actually weird. Really weird. Not only is it full of amazing creatures and mini-monsters, but some of the world's most mind-blowing myths and legends revolve around the sea too.

So what are you waiting for? Get ready to dive in and discover some of the incredible secrets of our weird, wonderful, and totally wild oceans.

This quirky collection of the sea's strangest facts is perfect for curious kids aged 5-7.
